Case resolution made easy

The Resolution Center is the easiest, most secure way for sellers and buyers to communicate when either has a problem with a transaction.

Use it to open cases, communicate with buyers, and resolve problems.

How it works

1

The request starts

Open a request through the Resolution Center if you were unpaid or need to cancel a transaction. Your buyer may start a request there for an item they never received or believe is not as described.

2

Use the tools

The Resolution Center has all you need to need to respond and communication. Respond to buyer questions within three business days.

3

Stay up to date

Keep an eye out for messages from your buyers and respond promptly. Sellers and buyers can escalate the request for eBay to review if parties cannot solve the issue together.

Read our seller updates for updates on changes to the resolution process and after-sale experience.

eBay protects you

eBay works to identify, warn, and restrict buyers who file unusually high numbers of cases.

You can track the number of times eBay Money Back Guarantee cases have been removed from your account as a result of these actions in your seller dashboard.

Protection when shipping within your stated time: If a buyer claims that they did not receive an item, the related eBay Money Back Guarantee case will be found in your favor if you shipped within your stated handling time and provided tracking information (with signature confirmation for transactions of $750 or more) before the case was escalated to eBay.

To be protected, the tracking information will need to show proof of delivery from a shipping company that clearly displays the delivery status of the item as "delivered," the date of delivery (which reflects that you shipped within your stated handling time), and the recipient's address.

Any buyer feedback (positive, neutral, and negative) along with detailed seller ratings [DSRs] will be removed promptly from transactions in which an eBay Money Back Guarantee case is resolved in your favor by eBay.
